Lately while driving over cobbles etc I can hear a "swoosh" type sound eminating from the front shocks and on closer inspection I have noticed what looks to be a oil type residue on the shocks.

Is it the seals that have gone and how much for the repair (hell knows how this happened as I haven't been on anything not resembling tar for the last year :mad:    )

Is it worth it to do the upgrade to the shocks - how much is that going to be? taking into account that I have done less than a thousand km's in the last year.... :'(

Collective wisdom needed please :sip:
